Adaptation, S. Burgess. An attempt at whimsy can be the making or breaking of a group of players and Winnie The Pooh is sheer whimsy. Rockefeller’s adaptation of part of the A. A. Milne book for its freshman hall play on Friday night, however, was successful and is always de- serving of the plaque which the judges awarded it. The acting was excellent and if there was an occasional flicker of a smile it was overcome by the predominate seriousness with which the actresses took their roles. Rabbit was.in dead earnest with his superior reasoning and Pooh plodded after him with good- natured bewilderment, singing Penny Derr’s music. Piglet was superb as a fellow conspirator and Kanga did a gooa job of looking after her delight- fally loose-jointed Baby Roo. ‘Christopher Robin, Eeyore, Owl, and Rabbit’s Friend shared in this fulness which made every- y seem unimportant by com- parison with the expedition to thie North Pole. Every line could be heard and each one carried: the audience further into a emaaint lieve world. Other halls adapted their pro- ductions from longer plays, but Winnie was taken directly from the book by Sallyann Burgess. Nonnie Powers (with upperclass help from Sally Shoemaker) di- rected the play, and there was a refreshing simplicity in most of the stage business. There were no startling lighting effects and the only props were the barést essentials: a rock, a tuft of grass’ and a tree to show a} forest, and a bench, table, and tub for Kanga’s house. “The costuming, too, deserves commendation, for ingenuity was essential in transforming articles of everyday clothing into suits for stuffed animals by the addition of Continued on Page 2, Col. 4 Science Lecturer Expounds Aspect Of Brain Activity Psychiatry will be the subject of this year’s first Science Club lec- ture, Tuesday evening, November 11, when Dr. Joseph Hughes will speak on “Relationships between Consciousness and Electrical Ac- tivity of the Brain”. Dr. Hughes is a professor of psychiatry at Women’s Medical College and a consultant in psy- chiatry to the Institute of the Pennsylvania Hospital and ito the United States Naval Hospital. His most important work, and that for which he is most famous, is his research on electroshock therapy and_ electroencephalography; he was one of the first scientists to do work in those fields. In cooperation with some of his colleagues, Dr. Hughes has also published reports of his work in the use of blood plasma, and of study of the response of the spinal cord to two afferent volleys. Contrasting Worlds Co-Exist in Cairo; Many Intriguing Sights Entice Visitor by Sue Habashy, °54 - Cairo, though for centuries fam- ed for its ancient Pyramids and its Sphinx, is today far more worthy of this old fame. For it is in Cairo that the crossroads of the Middle East meet, and it is there that the West first meets the Middle East. Of vital importance politically, and of crucial importance geograph-| ically because of its commercial highway—the Suez Canal—Cairo retains in many ways the old, and the new, Along its main streets, glide the newest of Cadillacs, while not far away on an unpaved road, a pen- sive donkey driven by a farmer re- turning from the field plods his way, meeting. perhaps a milkman on a bicycle. Ladies in Parisienne clothes and Fifth Avenue fashions hurrying to cocktail parties walk side by side with peasant women in their con- servative picturesque native dress. ’ Men in Eastern ‘Galabiyas’ and men in suits sit together in street- cars. Streamlined trucks and horse drawn carts travel together in some streets, while in others, the ‘NO PARKING’ signs and police- men are the source of worry to drivers hurrying to business or to school. On the same street can be seen department stores full of Egyptian and imported goods and nearby a small shop where native ivory work and brocade-weaving draws many a foreign visitor. Tourists not only flock to the Bazaars and the Pyramids, but many enjoy the Italian Opera sea- son and the Vienna Philharmonic orchestra, while the Egyptian theatre and a trip to Cairo’s Hol- lywood—‘Studio Misr’ is well worth the time. Many a tourist is familiar with/ the Guezira club, where much of Cairo’s cosmopolitan population witnesses the world championships once a year. : A trip ’round the Universities, the ‘old?

After preliminary announcements by Ronnie Gottlieb, President of the Alliance, Patsy Price introduc- | ed the first speaker, “Mr. Taft’s sister, Mrs. Manning.” “I am voting tomorrow for Eis- enhower and the Republican party because I believe in the two-party system,” began Mrs. Manning. Self-Gov Puts On Mock Trial Case For Consideration The Self-Government Associa- tion is associated . with—what? Precisely not the fear of hanging by your thumbs, or anything else to equal the torments of a chosen few. To prove the point, Self-Gov. will present a mock trial on Mon- day, November 10, in the Common Room at 8:30. Carol Sonne and Sue Halperin will be those under scrutiny, in two cases which even the execu- tive board will not know of until they are présented. Marilyn Rei- gle explains these cases as “typi- cal but entertaining,” and hopes that ‘the presentation will show to the-college the board in its ac- tual functioning capacity. Because no one will know of the situations, those on the board will act as if it were a regular case. The mock trial is being held a week before the annual Self-Gov. exam, and hopes to correlate the rules with the actuality of Self- Gov. For freshmen as well as up- perclassmen, it will certainly serve to better acquaint you with the operation of the association. The record of the last eight years and today’s stalemate have proved that both parties must contribute to national life. Only a party com- ing freshly to -the*issues can help change the record. Walter Lipp- mann has said that no other coun- try so vast has “maintained a gov- ernment based on a free society and one which respects the rights of man.” Although the two-party system is not logical when worked out on paper, it is all we have—it has kept unity in this country bétween dif- fering factions. If the Republican party is defeated this time, it will be difficult to keep the two-party system open. “The greatest indictment made by my teacher friends,” said Mrs. Manning, “is that. Eisenhower has compromised.” Surely without compromise there can be no way to bring the different parts of the country together. An_ historical example was the rebirth of the Democratic party after 'Wilson’s compromise with Bryan. Mrs. Manning — expressed. her great faith in Eisenhower and the men he is likely to appoint. If we consider their record in the last four years, she concluded, we will realize that the Republicans under a splendid leader have a much bet- ter opportunity « for: -accomplish- ment, than. the Democrats. . Mr. Donald Brown spoke next, as he said, perhaps more from a psychological than an_ historical point of view. He said that fac- ulty supporters, or “eggheads,” for Stevenson were fortunately “scrambled” with many groups outside the teaching profession. Eisenhower’s compromises with opposing sections of the Republi- can party have left both feeling Continued on Page 5, Col. 1 Haverford-Bryn Mawr Dramatic Clubs Join To Prethice “Philadelphia Story” Because of its setting on the ‘Main Line, The Philadelphia Story, to be presented by the Haverford and Bryn.Mawr Drama Clubs at Roberts Hall on Friday and Sat- urday, November 7 and 8, holds special interest for Bryn Mawr and Haverford students. Also of interest is the fact that the play was written originally for Kath- -erine Hepburn. The story concerns Tracy Lord (Sue Halperin), the daughter of a Main Line family, who has been married to and divorced from a [man in her own .social stratum. Tracy’s father, Seth, played by Bill Watson, is carrying on an o ‘fair with a dancer. As the play opens, it is the ‘i a politically promising young man, portrayed by Dick Lingeman. Tracy’s younger ‘sister, Dinah, enacted by Debbie ‘Jordan, finds an article about her ‘father’s affair which is about to be published in a prominent mag- ‘azine. The brother, Sandy (J$hn -Folks), however, makes a bargain with the publisher to exchange that article for one on Tracy’s wed- ing. Before the wedding, the pho- tographer, Liz Imbrie, played by Gretchen VanMeter, and the re- porter, Mike Conner, portrayed by Robin Nevitt, arrive to cover the © wedding. They try to hide the fact that they are reporting on the wedding; and the Lords, who know that they are, try to hide the fact that they know. Mike and C..K. Dexter Haven (Bill Packard), Tracy’s former husband, who is still obviously in love with her, complicate matters, but help Tracy realize that she has been a prig and too intolerant of the shortcomings of others. The plot revolves around this awaken- ing and Tracy’s realization of frail —but human—values. Other important characters who add to the general confusion and comedy are the mother, Margaret Lord, enacted by Kathy Lurker, and Uncle Willie, played by John Kittredge. The directors are Maggie Glenn of Bryn Mawr and: Brooks Cooper of Haverford. i kk eS ee Page Two THE COLLEGE NEWS Wednesday, November 5, 1952 THE COLLEGE NEWS FOUNDED IN 1014 Published weekly during the College Year (except during Thanks- ie wie of Bryn Ma * Goile vat 7 jae Printing Compan “4 r) wr Co a © ore ye) ‘ Ardmore, Pa., and Bryn Mawr College.

It is this type of objective judgment upon which our structure of government relies to select the men who are to govern the nation. In order to believe that the election system which oper- ates in the United States is the best possible one, it is first necessary to assume that men are capable of reason. After we agree upon the assumption, the problem of presenting the pertinent facts to the people arises, for only if the voting population can have access to all sides of an issue can its judgment be valid. College should prepare students for life in our demo- cratic society. Voting in an intelligent way 'is the means by which we as citizens can select the men who we feel will make the best legislators and administrators, and by which we can approve or condemn the present government. The students at Bryn Mawr should be proud of those or- ganizations which have taken the initiative to interest the campus in the presidential election and to set forth the is- sues. The Youth for Eisenhower and Students for Stevenson groups have done a splendid job of arousing interest and pre- senting information to the students through the planned Monday night discussions, through the supplement in last week’s News, and through the frequent unplanned informa- tive conversations which have gone on late at wight in the smokers and almost anywhere dyring the day. The Alliance for Political Affairs and the groups affiliat- ed with it too are to be commended for their educational pro- gram: the timely current events lectures, and the very suc- cessful Election Eve rally, as well as the vote held on Monday. The newly acquired television set in the Rumpus Room has been another means open to students for obtaining infor- mation upon which to base their final opinion of the candi- dates and their respective parties. The students did their best to make information avail- able to the campus at this very important time in our nation- al lives. It was up to you to weigh the facts and make a ra- tional decision as to whom you would support. If you did this, you performed the duty of every college student: you took advantage of the material available and made a decision. Fellowship Guides |Literary Efforts Applications will now be accept- ed for the Lucy Martin Donnelly Fellowship of Bryn Mawr College, a fellowship in creative writing or research in the humanities, of the value of $3000 for the year 1953- 54. The fellowship is given in mem- ory of Lucy Martin Donnelly, 1870- 1948. A member of the faculty for many years, Miss Donnelly was Professor of English and head of the department from 1911 until her retirement in 1936. The friends and students of Miss Donnelly who value the distinction in letters and scholarship that she revealed in her personality and her teaching have founded this fellowship to provide for talented women oppor- tunities to develop their creative powers or to pursue constructive research in the humanities. It is open to women who are citizens of the United States or the British Commonwealth. Awarded on the basis of distinction in writ- ing, it may be used either for cre- ative writing or for research in the humanities. Candidates ‘who wish to use the fellowship for re- search should already have made progress that is equivalent to the usual requirements for the Ph.D. degree. : The holder of the fellowship will be expected to reside at Bryn Mawr for some portion of the academic year (October to June) unless in the opinion of the Com- mittee of Award special permis- ison should be granted for resi- dence elsewhere or for travel. The fellowship is not to be used to ful- fill the requirements for any aca- demic degree, The holder will have no academ- ic duties, for the purpose of the award is to enable her to devote her entire working time to creative writing or research. Established in 1949, the initial award of the fel- lowship was made last year to Miss Elizabeth Bishop. Applications must be submitted before January 15, 1953. Appli- cation blanks and further informa- tion can be obtained from the of- fice of the President, Taylor Hall. Interested Guests Visit B.M. Campus Merion Hall buzzed with conver- sation on Monday, October 27. It was the scene of after dinner cof- fee for thirty-four girls from neighboring high schools. Two students and one faculty member from seventeen different schools had attended a buffet dinner at the Deanery sponsored by the college. Invited to hear Professor Perry Miller’s lecture, the students heard a preliminary introduction to the lecture by Mr. Berthoff at the Deanery. Interest in Bryn Mawr and in college life in general was high, although, according to Mrs. Paul, the girls were invited primarily to stimulate closer relations between the college and _ neighboring schools. The administration seeks to make local students feel at home at Bryn Mawr, hoping that they will feel. free to attend such lectures, and will get a taste of college life. In accordance with the program, another group has been invited to hear a lecture on November, 24. ENGAGEMENT Virginia Ann Holbeck, ’52 to Thomas Edwin Farmer. Letter Miss McBride Urges Students Report All Earnings To the Editor of the College News: Information on all the jobs held by students and on their total earn- ings has seemed impossible to se- cure. How many people would make a record of each baby-sit, each assignment of typing, etc? The obvious guess is that very few people would be bothered. But this information has become more important than ever before. (1) Entering students trying to plan for college and the higher fees want to know how much they can expect to make. (2) Corporations considering gifts for scholarships want to know how much students earn. iWe can’t answer unless we have a complete and accurate survey. Can we attempt the impossible and find all the jobs students take and all their earnings? Mrs. Sullivan and the Vocational Committee are preparing conven- ient forms for the reporting of this inconvenient information. Please accept the inconvenience of reporting all your jobs and earnings! One year’s accurate sur- vey will give us the basis for help- ing both present and incoming stu- dents. Sincerely, Katharine McBride T.V. Set Attracts Relaxation Seekers by Joan Havens, ’56 The box-like monstrosity which has of late been seen decorating a table in the rumpus room in Good- hart Hall is not a missile from Mars or a new-style bomb detec- tor. It is Bryn Mawr’s new tele- vision set. Since its installation last week it has become a much- used and enjoyable feature of the room. At almost any hour, students who have prudently finished their work, or otherwise, can be seen sprawled in front of the set, or frantically twisting those four treacherous little knobs, attempt- ing to get a program instead of a bunch of wave lengths. Actually it is a fairly simple process for an _ intelligent Bryn Mawr student to procure a good program; the RCA Victor set is a good one, with a large screen. The exploits of Hopalong Cassidy and college football teams show up equally well. Half of the cost. of the set, on which we were given a discount, was defrayed by the college. The remainder was paid for by funds of the Undergraduate Association. To clear up wide-spread confusion on this subject, it should be stated that this money is not from the Common Treasury. Dues will not be increased due to the purchase of the set. Rock’s Spirit, Ingenuity Produce Whimsical Play Continued from Page 1 tails, ears, hoods, or stripes. Spirit also helps make a hall play successful ‘and Rock’s fresh- men had the inécessary enthusiasm. Every member of the class had some part in the production and there were no outstanding ac- tresses. There: was, instead, the feeling that everyone was working together to produce a wonderful play. Such decisions are a necessary part of education, and an es- santial part of the preparation. necessary for us to assume our place among the voters in the United States. Van Doren Views Value of Student especially contributed by A. Blaisdell, 53 & L. Lawrence, ’53 Three essential qualities for a teacher are: a desire to talk, a need to explain, and a readiness to listen. With these must be coupled a mastery of subject, says Mark Van Doren. Although the teacher can gain this mastery from re- search, he must also be willing to learn from his students. The most valuable student is the one who says he does nét under- stand; from him the teacher learns where he has failed. For, the teacher who thoroughly under- stands his subject can explain it. But, Van Doren adds, any amount of knowledge is lost to the student if the teacher underestimates his students’ maturity and knowledge, if he is condescending to “ignor- ant” students, or if he considers himself more important than his subject matter. The teacher must not stand between subject and student lest the teacher’s person- ality is remembered rather than the material he teaches. Mark Van Doren’s talk was one of the highlights of the confer- ence on college teaching held at Haverford last week in which sen- iors and teachers from fifteen col- leges and universities participated. Other problems discussed included the place of research in the teach- ing profession. As Louis Green of Haverford asserted, research is necessary but not sufficient. Teach- ing and research should be mutual- ly sustaining efforts. In addition, Dean Harry Carman of Columbia emphasized that tteaching should never be considered a means of financing research. Pay Days Provoke Expensive Delusion by Joan Havens, ’56 That noble Bryn Mawr institu- tion, Pay Day, is fast approaching. What is Pay Day? It occurs six times during the college year; one can charge just about anything— ranging from a toothbrush in the hall bookshop to a tome on “The Why and Wherefore of Organic Chemistry” —to Pay Day. Pay Day operates on the theory that signing one’s life away, momen- tarily speaking, for a date a month or so in the future is superior to dying in the meantime in slow in- stallments. Pay Day is ideal for three types of students: procrastinators, those who are lazy, and those who just hate to pay for things. At Bryn | Mawr dwell many belonging to a distinct species—Pay Day Procras- tinators. These deluded souls would never think of paying cash for so much as a book of matches; they put off paying much as they probably put off reading their course assignments ’til tthe last week of\the semester. Unfortun- ately for them, it is impossible to put off Pay Day itself. Those students who employ Pay Day due to laziness may be quickly disposed of here. They charge to Pay Day either because it is too much trouble to carry a wallet, or because it is easier to sign on a Pay Day list than to count out all that money or make out a check. As for those who merely object to paying for all things, Pay Day for them is a sort of rationaliza- tion. Théy' imagine that since they’re not paying cash, they’re not paying, period. But like both the aforementioned groups, ’though they manage to stave off the guillotine, so to speak, for a time — it does eventually fall, and fall swiftly and painfully, in the form of Pay Day.

Barrie’s delightful play. Awarded honorable mention by the judges, the production brought out very well its fantasy-like qual- ity despite the difficulties of stag- ing and the absence of a male lead. Perhaps these superficial techni- calities but forced the audience to use their imaginations more fully as they were meant to do. Mrs. Page, an actress famous for her portrayal of Rosalind, was excellently characterized by Doris Kaiser, whose delivery and man- nerisms were almost on a profes- sional level. The change from Mrs. Continued on Page 4, Col. 3 Norristown Sees Juniors Perform by Margaret McCabe, °54 When the curtain closes, the show is over. This is a statement that is usually true of Class shows. But on Thursday evening, October 30, the Juniors pulled the curtain once more on Opening Soon. At Norristown Hospital, sans costume, setting, and make-up, as many ex- cerpts as could be assembled were given for the hundreds of patients who were able to come to the au- ditorium, All the songs were sung by cho- rus and solos; the Desert Dune was given with Director Bobby Floyd playing the part of the beauty, ‘Bathsalome; the Extrava- ganza was reproduced in toto; and Ann Shocket gave all that very necessary backbone at the piano. Out of this melange, each patient could find something that was pleasant whether it lay in the lyrics or the music alone. A general feeling of ease per- vaded the group that took part, for Ann Shocket and Gloria von He- bel had worked with these people during the past summer and through them there was a definite link of acquaintance. Gloria, by retelling the skeleton of the plot, clarified the meaning of the songs in their relationship with the story. There are a host of varied feel- ings that go along with giving a show after the set has been struck. This time we were presenting the show to an audience unbiased to- ward Bryn Mawr, and in that Continued on Page 4, Col. 5 Rhoads Uncovers Intrigue in India Amid the elaborate setting of a Maharajah’s palace, Rhoads Hall’s freshmen staged a Command Per- formance Saturday night. Amy Heinel directed the’ performance, and Cynthia Dunbar managed it, with Jane Miller acting as upper- class adviser. The Maharajah him- self, convincingly played by ,Vir- ginia Hunt, demanded the partici- pation of his guests, mostly Brit- ish tourists, in a game of chance. John Kirby, played by Cynthia Sutherland, was the cold-hearted scientist selected by the group to judge which one of them should die in the sypposed game. Dr. Henry Collins, portrayed by Ann Ipsen, begged excuse from dying because of his service to humanity. Laura- |. lee Stearns, as the second-rate, novelist Claudia Winters, excused herself for her potentialities as a writer. Albert Rossetti, an Ital- jan painter who demanded excuse on the grounds of his services in art, was played by Marcia Gold- stone. The role of James Van Loon, a Continued on Page 4, Col. 2 Sports by Mary Jane Chubbuck, "55 ‘Wednesday, October 29, Bryn Mawr was defeated in hockey by, Ursinus, the best team which has’ played here so far. Both games were very fast and well played. The most noticeable failing of the losing teams was lack of stick- work and speed. The Ursinus teams were both skillful and fast. Radnor Generates Eerie Atmosphere by Janet Warren, °55 A Ghost in the House, William S, McKinley’s adaptation of the Thurber story, “The Night the Ghost Got In”, ‘was the play pre- sented by the Radnor freshmen on Friday night. ‘This performance, which was truly in accordance with the Hallowe’en spirit, was di- rected by Connie Alderson. Joan McElroy as the fluttery mother who had ghosts in to tea, and Mary Ellen Fullam as the grand- father who thought he was Gen- eral Mead gave very convincing performances. All the actors suc- cessfully conveyed impressions of general eeriness—particularly Pat- ty Gilmartin, who played the ghost. The fact that there were a great deal too many male parts in the play was the main reason that the performance was not as good as it could have been. But Leah Shanks overcame this difficulty well. The policemen were also good, although one or two less of them would have made the scene in which they appeared more orderly. This scene was the only weak spot in the di- rection of the play—the remainder was very competently managed. On the whole, A Ghost in the | House was a good performance, | overcoming the quantity of men’s parts with some ease. New T.V.

Merritt Perry Miller Gives Immediate Interest As Defining American Romantic Ideas by Margaret McCabe, ’54 In the midst of his very busy day here at Bryn Mawr, Mr. Perry Miller, Professor of American Lit- erature at Harvard, sat down to answer some questions pertaining to his past academic affiliations and his present research in con- nection with his topic for the eve- ning, “Transcendental Genius and American Democracy.” Mr. Miller’s immediate interest lies in the task of searching for and defining the Romantic con- cepts in America; not just Amer- ica but the America of today. He questions that the European con- cept of romance as seen in Car- lyle and Byron with its aristocratic connotations, can exist in America, and itis in his forthcoming book on the ‘early 19th century, Romantic America, that he plans to assem- ble his views on the question. Al- though the Romantic era, by name, is past us by a century, Mr. Miller wants to study the results|: of an attempted application of romantic concepts in America to: the situations of today. ; Because of academic positions’ held in the East and West of the world, Mr. Miller referred to him-, self as a type of “ambassador”. As Professor of American Literature at the University of Leyden in Holland in 1949-50 and again this summer at the University of Tokyo, Mr. Miller was given the opportunity to teach Anjierican Literature to people who were in- terested in it for literature’s sake. Japan tends to be more eager; probably because tradition has not culturally, kept her looking down her nose at us. Through our literature, Mr. Miller believes we are reaching a great many people who are interested in knowing us as Americans. and particularly for a time to those in the Philadelphia area, to introduce themselves to the public and to ask the questions that seem most pertinent or disturbing to them of today’s leaders in all fields. The Junior Press Conference is a half-hour TV show every Sunday morning that presents four college students as a panel to interview important men in fields of ‘politics, the United Nations, education, sports, and many others. The idea of Junior Press ‘Con-' |ference originated with Mrs. Rut Hagy who was impressed by the action to The Bulletin Forum and to Youth Asks ‘Twenty Questions. Here, she felt, was an opportunity for college students to show their intelligence and air their views, but for :this to be effective the shows must be student staged— not student stooged.

The play will begin at 8:00 p. m. in the Villanova College Field House; Bryn Mawr has been invited to at- tend at the special student rate of $.85. The play has a long history. Starring Brian Aherne, it was first presented at London’s Ambassador Theatre in 1929. In later years it was adapted for screenplay by Hollywood, starring James Stew- art and Farley Granger. ‘and Barbara Leddy as the sons|, favorable and amazed: audience re-, Repartee Enriches Non-Res Portrayal by Ellen Bell, 53 “T can’t argue about any argu- ment until I know what argument you are arguing about”, shouted a very un-Juliet-like Juliet (Ros Simon) to a pompous Romeo (Sara Stiffler), in the animated non-res play, Juliet and Romeo, given in the Skinner Workshop on October 5 ig Kit Masella successfully direct- ed the play, for it was lively as well as easy to follow and enjoy- able to watch. Ros Simon and Sara Stiffler energetically charac- ‘terized temperamental actors. They were adequately supported by Juliet’s maid (Mayo Swan), an old soul who is greatly distressed by Juliet’s hardheartedness, and a sentimental admirer, a onetime Romeo (Ellen Spector) whose mel- lowness contrasted sharply to the biting sarcasm of the younger generation. Sara Stiffler, as Romeo, took more opportunity to ham her part than the others. If the maid and the old man could have more ob- viously “acted” their parts, the play might have been an even more Continued on Page 4, Col. 4 Correct Old Maids Inhabit Pem West by Mary Alice Drinkle, ’53 Pembroke West’s freshmen pre- sented an adaptation of Katherine Mansfield’s The Daughters of the Late Colonel for their hall play on Saturday, November 1. The play was enjoyable primar- ily because of the convincing por- trayal of all of the characters, especially of the two maiden daughters and Kate, the maid. Since there were so many sim- ilarities between Josephine and Sophia it would have been very easy for,them to be just “type” characters and not individuals. However, Louise Todd and Char- lotte Smith did successfully dis- tinguish between Josephine, the | more conservative and sober sister, 1} and Constantia, who was more ro- mantic and flighty. This differ- ehce was shown distinctly at the beginning of the play and was carried through to the end. When Conestantia suggested, “Oh, let's have a love affair!’ and Josephine answered, “Constantia, how inap- propriate!” the audience immedi- ately understood the difference. The similarities of the sisters was brought out whenever a third character such as Kate, the maid, came on the stage. Their common characteristics of dependence and Continued on Page 4, Col. 4 Pem.

Directed by Marianne Clark and Jessie Sloane, the play portrays an average day in the home of the famous Hollywood act- or, Gordon Dane. His wife, played by Edie Kaden, and his secretary, Judianne Densen-Gerber, try to deal with a teenager, Lucia Boy- den, who has attempted suicide for the luve of Gordon. In addition, they are occupied in thwarting a Holiywood columnist who is at- tempung to ferret out the story.

On Saturday night at Skinner Workshop they produced The Long Christmas Dinner, a one- act play by Thornton [Wilder. | The play was set in the dining room of a family at Christmas time. Evolution of the family, of the inhabitants’ opinions, even of the changing world outside, was viewed through the family’s dia- logue. It spanned about ninety years, from the Civil War times to the modern age. In the family itself, the change of outlook in relation to their house and town was symbolic of the di- vergence of the family from their ancestors’ customs. At the _ first dinner the house was a cherished one; it slowly lost its value until one by one the inhabitants left it for far places. e The acting was very convincing. Lee Berlin as Charles—the third generation of the family—and Jo Ann Elegant as his wife, were es- pecially notable. H, L. Simpson as Genevieve also had a difficult job which she performed well. The job of these actors was to show the difference in voice, feeling, and outlook of their characters through the years, and they did well for the small amount of practise they had. The choice of the play was poor, for it contained a drama too force- ful for non-professionals to do with finesse. Director Jane Kea- tor and Stage Manager Helen Ha- gopian are to be congratulated, Continued on Page 4, Col. 1 Von Laue Finds Mauwrters Attentive, Scholarly, Neither Bored Nor Boring by Barbara “Bryn Mawr girls are the most scholarly of the students I’ve taught,” declared Mr. Theodore von Laue, whose history teaching at Princeton, Swarthmore, and now Bryn Mawr gives him an unques- tionably excellent background for comparison. Bryn Mawrtyrs are more attentive, more satisfactory students, and do _ exceptionally thorough and independent work. Mr. von Laue tags himself “a Princeton man, at least by label,” having completed his education there, if not his football schedule. After his B.A. and Ph.D. were tucked away, he taught at Prince- ton, and later attended the Rus- sian Institute at Columbia. Rus- sian politics and culture are his pet projects; these were chosen from his selected field of history, which Mr. von Laue terms as an “analysis of where society goes.” Fischer, ’55 His presence in the department of history this year is preceded by a varied training in both the United States and Europe. Brought up in Germany until 19387, he at- tended Nazi schools and received a “good German _ education.” Nazism, however, was faced with the force of old ideas known and kept by parents, friends, and churches; thus, initially, the impact of the new dogma was not com- pletely extensive. Away from school, Mr. von Laue admits his weakness to be cham- ber music, and in the intentional absence of radio and television, takes advantage of records. Less classically, he plays the guitar and sings for relaxation. He is only moderately interested in the the- atre, but discusses movies at length. Recently, the most ap- Continued on Page 4, Col. 2 PE aa ne ad Page Four THE COLLEGE NEWS Wednesday, November 5, 1952 Students Meet Experts On TV Press Conference Continued from Page 3 must be enough of a success to in- sure money donations for a fund for students’ traveling expenses and to infuse colleges all over the country with this idea so that they will ask for a program in their city or state. But this is only the first step, for Mrs. Hagy has a plan that could possibly material- ize within the next three years: an international youth conference or festival that would discuss all phases of cultural development. The general plan would be the same as with the Junior Press Conference: a panel to irterview experts on movie, radio, TV, jazz, sports, etc, The program on Nov. 2, “Why My Party (Will (Win” featured Pennsylvania’s Republican Con- gressman Hugh Scott and Phila- delphia’s District Attorney, Dem- oerat Richardson Dilworth. This time the panel was entirely out of state with the two college chair- men of the national campaign, Roger Moore of Harvard, Repub- lican, and Allard Lowenstein from Yale, Democrat, supported by two boys from the Universities of Michigan and North Carolina. The going proved hot and heavy as Scott and Dilworth battled out their opposing views and Moore and Lowenstein drew vehement and sometimes acid comments from the two men. Some of the questions were: How can Eisenhower justify his agreement with Taft? How can Stevenson draw the line between “good” and. “very good” in his portrayal of Hiss’ character? At the end of the program Mrs. Hagy tried to induce a semblance of or- der to what had sometimes border- ed on confusion, as questioners and questioned very often spoke at the same time and interrupted each other, by asking Dilworth and Scott to predict the outcome of Tuesday’s Voting. The next program on Sunday, Noy. 9 at 11:30 will be “College Football, Sport or Business?” and will bring to a panel Robert Hall and Francis Harvey, Directors of Athletics at Yale and Pennsyl- vania respectively. The idea of Junior Press Conference is a good one, but if it is going to succeed it must. have student interest, en- thusiasm, and participation. Merion Evidences Talent In Thorton Wilder Play Continued from Page 3 for the scenery was simple and ap- propriate, and the costumes excep- tional. It might have created more reality to include additional inci- dental props, such as plates and food. It was enjoyable to watch The Long Christmas Dinner. Many of Merion’s large number of fresh- men had an opportunity to exhibit their talents and they were per- fectly coordinated. They did ex- cellently with their material.

He was excused for being too cowardly to die. Mabel Morrison, Carline Chitten- den, a doting mother, demanded to be excused on account of her child- ren, but: was refused because she left them. Wendy Hoar, as the singer Jeannette Lawrence, gave an excellent portrayal of a wom- an suffering from rejected love, love of Kirby in her case. She de- manded that she die, and Kirby finally chose her instead of Mabel. When the Maharajah informed the group that the game was not in jest but was for the revenge of his son’s death, the debonair Van Loon broke the suspense by gaily walking to the death. The palace scenery was enhanced by Ayah, played by Margaret Schwab and Rahjput, by Ann Harris. A fine combination of suspense, love, hu- mor, fine acting, and beautiful scenery made the show a memor- able Command Performance. Important To Constantly Grow, Says Von Laue Continued from Page 3 pealing was “Rash-o-mon,” which followed his disappointment in “Miracle in Milan”, promptly dis- missed as “too, too miraculous and pure escapism,” even though the idea has possibilities. He feels that there is a certain lack of human refinement and sympathy in films; the average person main- tains an aloofness parallel to his own social status, and rarely knows a contrasting situation, as for example, the tragedy of “Death of a Salesman.” In this trend, Mr. von Laue stressed the importance of sincere- ly transcending one’s own limits, of bridging class gaps, of the im- portance of growing as a person all the time. He praised the Friends’ Work Camp highly for having been able to have different groups work together on a com- mon goal, providing a superb dis- traction from individual differ- ences, He both likes and admires Bryn Mawr and its students (who neither bore nor are boring), but warns the college woman: “your trouble begins after college!” An intellectually adept girl is happy and proud in college; unfortun- ately, too many of them marry into situations where they lose the intellectual activity and mental stimulation which they demand, need, and enjoy. The von Laues seemed to have solved the problem neatly. (Inci- dentally, Mrs. von Laue is a Bryn Mawr graduate).

Portraying a young man (whose father considers him merely “an expense”) is a thankless chore for any actress, especially when the young man is so matter-of-factly in love. Mary Cahn as Charles gave him quite credibly the ex- treme youth which made him so lovable; furthermore the audience did not often have to think “it is a girl playing a boy who’s saying this.” Gail Ames played the truly mid- dle-aged Dame Quickley with warmth and sincerity. Her char- acterization contrasted well with the elusively middle-aged ‘Rosa- lind.” Both the staging and the set- ting were restrained and welkin- tegrated due to the combined ef- forts of Lois Parry the stage man- ager and Doris Kaiser who direct- ed.

The rendition of her first line “Fried or boiled!’’»was properly snippy and domineering and she continued to be snippy and domineering in every line of her part. Ann Hobson, as Cyril, the im- patient English businessman, and Beth Scherer, the soft-voiced Mr. Forral of St. John’s, although not so successfully in character as was the rest of the cast, certainly did their part to point up the char- acte1: of the two sisters. The production and staging of The Daughters of the Late Colonel added greatly to the coherence of the play, The setting was appro- priaté and natural, with its focus on the portrait of the late colonel. The play did not drag and it was not too long. Lynn Dallett, the freshman director and Minnie Cas- satt, the upper class advisor, as well as the actors, should be con- gratulated for a well-acted, well- integrated production.

The very topsy-turvy backstage view of demure Juliet au naturel, starts out in true Shakespearean fashion. Ann Garcia as_ the chorus, in full Elizabethan regalia, announces that “actors thrive on applause.” And applaud we did at the gay repartee. Juliet rants among other things, that Romeo kisses her as if she were a corpse. He replies, “All right, from now on I will give you a great big smack,” and adds “When you die so dra- matically would you mind falling across my chest instead of across the pit of’ my stomach?” The old, man later compliments this casual fall, saying, “I’ve seen some who seem ito select the anato- my on which to fall,” and adds that she had formed “a perfect cross.” The play ends with Juliet writing on the blackboard first ‘Juliet and Romeo and then Ro- meo and Juliet.

Stevenson, on the other hand, has not compromised with any Democratic candidate. Concerning Korean policy, Eis- enhower’s position has changed drastically since his speech in‘ Abil- lene, Kansas. A magazine editor suggested he go to Korea, so Ike said yes; a poll has proved that soldiers now on the Korean battle- front are against his visit by the vote of two to one. There are three ways we can handle the situation in Korea, concluded Mr. Brown. First, we can hold and fight it out in the mature way. Secondly, we can make a drive and possibly get lost in China the way the Germans got lost in Russia. Thirdly, we can surrender and give up. There is obviously only one answer.

This college and many other in- stitutions are endowed by private enterprise; as the government gains more and more control. they will cease to exist. General Eis- enhower has spoken strongly for individual freedom. General Eisenhower, she con- cluded, is running for the presi- dency as his own man, uncommit- ted and unobligated—‘a no-deal man.” : “It is my contention that a vote for Adlai Stevenson is a vote for the two-party system,” began Mr. Bachrach. In terms of power publicans and Democrats are lined up against the Liberal Republicans and Democrats. It is an interest- ing paradox that although in the last three presidential elections forward-looking liberal new-deal- ists have been elected, the conserv- atives have managed to control the government. Freedom cannot survive if this continues; a strong liberal force must be maintained to withstand the reactionary movement sweep- ing America today. What will hap- pen to freedom if we elect a pres- ident goaded by reactionaries? Liberals must be on the positive side as well as on the defensive. Under a liberal congress and pres- ident, communism and corruption would evaporate just as they be- gan where there was stagnation because of a conservative coalition.

The Republicans claim that to- day’s economy.is based on war. They are not facing the problem of economy realistically and carry- ing this argument to its logical conclusion. This is the problem of peace economy and Stevenson is the man for peace. Mr. Brown began the rebuttals with a series of points. Stevenson, he said, has had considerable ex- perience on a world-wide scale, in-} eluding work with the.United Na- tions and the Department of State. Stevenson has taken an active stand on communism—let it be handled by professionals, meet spies with counter-spies. He ex- pressed his concern over the Re-|.

Stev- enson has a good record in IIli- nois, with only a few Chicago scan- dals, and even Dewey cannot con- trol corruption in New York City. Mrs. Manning replied that the question of corruption is not how it started’ but what can be done about it. If it were not for con- gressional committees we would not even know about corruption, crime, and communism. “It is my contention,” said Mr. Bachrach, “that corruption always exists when we have this static condition within our society.” To remove corruption, we have not “the symptoms but the causes to get rid of ... hence, Stevenson.” It is imperative to have a_ liberal president to fight against thought control. The definition of compromise should be clarified, demanded Miss Yeager, and differentiated from the policy of using good men in the best places. Liberalism was defined as a tol- erance for the other fellow’s belief by Mr. Bachrach in answer to a question from the floor.
